DANFORTH'S TRAINING,
An Effective Way for Reducing

ICSI1.
Tommy Warren and Tommy Danfortn
at the Washington rink, Minneapolis,
on the 30th, in 4 fifteen-round contest
for the featherweight championship of
America, is attracting a great deal of
attention throughout the country. Dan
forth has been considered the champion
of the East, while Warren laid claim to
the West. Their ten-round contest at
Minneapolis, although the best exhibit
ton OF scientific sparring ever seen in the
Northwest, resulted i'll draw. Then
Warren went East to look for Danforth.
but came back because he says he could
not get fair treatment. Danforth pro-
Minneapolis, and the result is a
second match for fifteen rounds.
which certainly should settle the vexed
question of superiority. Warren is at
La Crosse, and is already in good condi-
ton, as he has been inStructing a class
there in the art of Self-defense for some
time. DanfOrth began to reduce his
weight Wednesday, and has already got
down from 121j9 pounds to 123. He
expects to dispose of the three super
1tuouS pounds during the coming week.
His method of reducing his adipose It's
sue is severe but effective. Yesterday

jogging along at smart pace in the
vicinity OF the st. Paul junction OH the
Mendoza road. A short man wearing a
heavy oyercOat was clinging to the straps
behind. When the carriage came to
stop the coat was unbuttoned and
Tommy Danforth, reeking with perspi-
ration, came into view. A heavy flan-
mel shirt and suit of wooden fanneIs
were peeled of, a pail Of cold water was
thrown over him, and two men went to
work OH him with crash towels, which
were as stiff as brushes. His flesh was
like unto that Of q boiled lobster. And
when this was done he was driven off to
get rest and dinner. 1t is expected

Secretary Quin Cannot Declare a

CReferring to the reported decision of
Secretary Quin in the Oshkosh-Minne-
apolis disputed game, President Roche
said last evening:
Il received a letter rom Putnam. a
member of the Eau Claire club. the
other day, asking if something could
not be done to have protested games
settled Immediately while fresh in the
minds of the people. did not know
officially OF any protested games what
ever, but saw in the papers that
there were. some objections to decisions
and probably games would be protested,
SO | wrote Secretary Quin Friday. in
Sructing him to have the statements Of
the several games wich had been pro-
tested prepared at once and submitted
to Hart, Of Milwaukee, a member of the
board of directors, then forwarded to
Davis, at Eau Claire, then to st. Paul
and Minneapolis, and so on around.
suggesting that each member attach his
decision to the statement, or submit his
vote to me. that no member should be
influenced by the vote of any other
member. My Interpretation of the new
constitution is that the secretary has no
authority whatever this year, except to
remove an umpire. All disputes are TO
be settled by the board of directors"

HUTCHINSON, Minn., May 15.-Last
night four valuable horses were stolen
from the barn of Ole Hauglund. a farmer
living nine miles north of Hutchinson.
From marks it is evident that the thief
had buggy and he was traced into
Hutchinson. The deputy sheriff from
Mcleod county and the sheriff from
Meeker county are in hot pursuit. 1t is
demonstrated that the parties are Pro-

number of emigrants were in the hotel.
All the guests managed to escape with
the exception of Duncan Mclean, a

said that Secretary Quin rendered his
decision on the advice of the umpire.
Des MoineS and Oshkosh have both
passed Milwaukee, and La Crosse and
Minneapolis are tied for fourth place,
while st. Paul, though winning three
out of four games during the week, has
fallen to sixth place. Duluth and Eau
Claire are plainly in too fast company,
and, if they expect to stay III the league,
should putt in some better timber. La
Crosse is showing up well, but it should
not be forgotten that its victories have
nearly all been taken from Duluth and
Eau Claire. The impression still pre-
walls in st. Paul that the great fight for
the pennant will he between the teams
of Oshkosh, Milwaukee and st. Paul.
DeS Moines will doubtless lead another
week, and perhaps two, but common
prediction gives it no better than fourth
or fifth place at the seasons end. The
record to date is amended:

LAKE GHARLEs, april 8, 1881.
Editor Lake Charles Reno:
Business to-day is almost at q stand
still, and all account of 'fGood Fri
day" This, and the many other ira
ditions and burdens connected with
this day, ] suppose, is all caused from
the tradition that Christ died on Fri
day. Itis wonderful to see the great
number of errors on Bible teachings
that have become almost universal.
Now, the truth and fact is, that
Christ died between three and six
o'clock Thursday evening, or between
the ninth and twelfth hour, Jewish
time. Remember their day ended at
six o'clock p. m. Now for the Bible
proof.
Mathew, Mark and Luke all say
that it was soon after the ninth hour
three o'clock when Jesus died. Cal
vary was about a mile from Pilates
residence. After He had died then
came Joseph of Arimath@a TO Plate.
Plate would not believe Jesus was
vet dead. He sent soldiers to see and
report, and on learning the fact gave
Joseph permission to take the body.
This he did hnrriedly, because at six
o'clock began the Preparation day, or
day before the Jews Sabbath. 1t is
probable however that Joseph and
Nicodemus worked late into the eve
ming of the Preparation day preparing
the burial. Remember, with those
people, the evening came before the
morning.
Notice that Mark, 18th chap. AZ
and 43 verses, says: "And when even
was now come because it was the
Preparation, that is the day before the
Sabbath" Then Luke, 23d chap,
verses So 10 Sc, says after they had
buried HIM that it WAS the Prepare
ton day and the Sabbath drew on,
etc. Then adds And the women
which had come with Him out Of
Galilee followed after and behcld the
toni and how His body laid, and re
turned and prepared spice and oint-
ments." This they did on the Prepa-
ration day. Luke then adds; "And on
the Sabbath they rested according to
the commandment. But on the first
day of the week at early dawn they
came to the tomb" etc.
Now, it Is plain that Christ died be-
tween three and six o'clock Thursday
evening. The women prepared spices
Friday, rested Saturday, which is the
Jews Sabbath, and Sunday morning
early came to the tomb. All this is
proven by the fact that in no other
way could Christ be said to have lain
three days and three nights in the
grave, Any one who will carefully
read the accounts given by the four
Gospels will agree with me on these
facts, and will no more teach for doc
trine this "tradition of men"

To commend true man for the
high standard already attained by

CATION to keep up to that standard.
And a true man is likely 10 be spurred
to greater effort by every valued
recognition of his best achievement.
No true man is contemted to have it
appear that bis best work is already
